Quite a bomba - I wonder if they actually hit anything or if it was just a big firework

Holy fuck. That's not far off early nukes.

So how many targets did it take out?

Deus Ex (2000) - a game that pushes the boundaries of what the video game medium is capable of to a degree unmatched to this very day.

I get the feeling (sadly) that ISIS will still be running around 10, 15 years from now.

The US bombed Afghanistan and Iraq 30x over, and they haven't really defeated Al Qaeda (still active) or the Taliban (all over the place) and this from 2001.

I imagine not many, read up that these bombs aren't effect at penetrating as other more effective bombs are, just have huge range. Seeing as how bunkers and cave systems are where they most likely exist, I imagine it was small damage (hopefully destroyed infrustructure).

This seems to more a show of force to others really

But wow that bomb seems powerful!



USA: We are against the use of WMD... uses bomb that can take out thousands.

So Trump gets a 25 kill streak in Syria, and then sets off the M.O.A.B in Afghanistan? Clearly he is a camper.

Apparently, he's been smurfing people in Arena AND Warzone! 343idiots should ban him from matchmaking! 



Fun Fact: The Hiroshima bomb "Little boy" was 1,100 times as powerful as this bomb.

 

The tsar bomb, the biggest nuclear weapon ever dropped, was 5,000 times as powerul as little boy. Which would equal about 5.5 million MOABs.

I look at this picture again and believe that it is the "Little Boy" nuke, not the MOAB.
